Pothos
A flexible trailing plant that tolerates a range of indoor conditions. Give it indirect light and watch soil moisture rather than following a strict schedule.
Spider plant
Often grows well with bright indirect light. Browning tips can have several causes; avoid changing everything at once.
ZZ plant
Stores moisture in its rhizomes and generally prefers the mix to dry between waterings.
Peace lily
Its leaves often droop when thirsty, though repeated wilting is stressful. Give it filtered light and good drainage.
Snake plant
Adaptable and slow growing. A free-draining mix and restraint with watering are more helpful than frequent fussing.
Introduce plants gradually
A newly bought plant needs time to adapt. Keep it apart from the collection briefly while checking for pests and environmental stress.
